Approximation Paper

 

Your paper should be approximately 3 pages double spaced (~750-1000 words).

Papers can talk directly about a mathematical topic related to approximation, they can be a personal reflection, and an expository talk relating approximation to something in history, design, culture…you name it! Above all, make sure your writing is focused and specific. However approximation appears in your paper, write about it with as much precision as you can.

A good paper should include a working definition of approximation that is relevant to your topic, and outside references. Good papers are readable (avoid typos and grammatical mistakes).

Avoid a paper that is a simple laundry list of approximation problems in your life. Write about something you find interesting or that you care about. Try to find a way to quantify the approximation problem that you want to discuss. Looking for interesting approximation mistakes is often very insightful.

Problem 1. Describe your paper topic. Include in your description:

My paper topic will be the influence of approximation in covid-19(Positive and negative aspects). For example, I will write about how does approximation apply in covid-19, what positive outcome caused by approximation and what negative outcome caused by approximation in covid-19. One of the negative outcomes of approximation in covid-19 is that we only know the approximate number of death case during covid-10, and this will let people guard down.

Problem 2. List at least two outside sources that you think will help you write a robust paper.

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/

https://www.statista.com/statistics/1043366/novel-coronavirus-2019ncov-cases-worldwide-by-country/

https://www.npr.org/2020/06/14/876584284/fired-florida-data-scientist-launches-a-coronavirus-dashboard-of-her-own

Briefly describe the source material, and how you plan to use it.

The sources I put are the coronavirus cases of United States and the whole world. In this paper, I will find some websites from other countries, then I will compare them. The data must be different among different websites, so this is why I said approximation will cause negative outcome during covid-19. Also, these websites tell me the number of coronavirus cases and death cases everyday in different areas, I believe this is a positive aspect of approximation for covid-19.
